This is a gorgeous looking cigar with flavors to match it's looks. A very nice band, as well as a second band at the foot. The color is very dark and this cigar feels quite nice in the hand. I poked this with a CigarSpike and the draw was perfect.

The first 4 to 5 draws brought HUGE amounts of pepper. I was wondering what I had got myself in to. The pepper was so thick and powerful that my mouth was actually watering. I quickly went inside and poured a glass of orange juice.

Luckily (so I thought), the cigar soon mellowed. I had that wonderful maduro flavor on my lips. I was still getting a nice pepper flavor, but espresso was now getting mixed in. I got a bit light headed as the vitamin N was kicking in, so I got up and walked around a bit. Drank some O.J. and I regained my senses.

Moving right along, the flavor again changed to a peppery leather flavor. I was getting tons of smoke from the small hole created by the CigarSpike. As I neared the end of the second 3rd, my head got a little light again. Where's a jelly donut when you need one !

Heading down the home stretch, the nice pepper flavor was joined by a hint of oak. I was really enjoying this cigar. It lasted about an hour and 20 minutes, and when I went to put it in the ashtray, I just had to take one last draw. I would consider this a full bodied smoke with tons of great flavors coming through nicely. This one ranks right up there with the Cinco Vegas Anomaly.

Though the triple A is supposed to be a completely different blend. Kinda curious myself to try one.
